Serum concentration of free T3 and, in female patients, FT4, were found to be lower in 20 asymptomatic, moderately-poor or well controlled, diabetics treated with insulin than in a group of non-diabetic subjects. Over a mean 3-month period of the study a significant fall occurred in HbA1 concentration in both groups of diabetics without change in free thyroid hormone levels. The mean capillary blood glucose, fasting free insulin and fasting lipid concentrations, other than high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, did not change. No correlations were found between the changes in HbA1 and free thyroid hormone concentrations. Improvement in long term metabolic control did not influence free thyroid hormone levels in well controlled and moderately-poor controlled diabetics, taking insulin.

Abstract Background: The objective of this study is to retrospectively analyze the correlation between the thyroid hormones and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with normal thyroid function. Methods: Totally 586 T2DM patients with normal thyroid function participated in this research and were divided into T2DM without NAFLD (240 cases) group and T2DM with NAFLD (346 cases) group. The NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) >0.676 was defined as progressive liver fibrosis and used to categorize the patients into T2DM without progressive liver fibrosis group (493 cases) and T2DM with progressive liver fibrosis group (93 cases). Results: The results indicated that the levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3) and total triiodomethylamine (TT3) were significantly higher while the free thyroxine (FT4) level was lower in T2DM with NAFLD group than that in T2DM2 without NAFLD group (p<0.05). The levels of FT3, FT4 and TT3 in patients with progressive liver fibrosis were significantly lower in patients with progressive liver fibrosis than that in patients without progressive liver fibrosis (p<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed a negative relationship between FT4 level and NAFLD (p=0.026), between the levels of FT4,TT3 and total thyroxine (TT4) and the risk of progressive hepatic fibrosis (p=0.022, p=0.007,p=0.046).Conclusion: There is a certain correlation between thyroid hormone levels and NAFLD in T2DM patients, suggesting that the assessment of thyroid hormone levels in T2DM patients with normal thyroid function is of great significance in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.
